FLIGHT CONTROL® PLUS is another patented formulation of AQ. Canada geese have become a major nuisance in North America and Flight Control® Plus humanely works to manage the birds without causing any harm. Flight Control® Plus is sprayed on turf to make the food source repellent to the geese.
FlightControl® Plus works in two ways:
Anti-feedant (consequence): Geese experience a temporary but very effective digestive irritation, usually within 20 minutes, when they eat turf treated with FlightControl® Plus.
Visual Warning (threat): Geese have four retinal cones (unlike humans, who have three) and have the unique ability to recognize FlightControl® Plus in the ultraviolet light spectrum in addition to the visible light spectrum in which humans see. The appearance of turf treated with FlightControl® Plus is unnatural and, once conditioned to the digestive reaction, the visual signal of the treated turf provides a warning to the geese not to eat the turf.
Studies have shown that birds will refuse to eat food treated with the active ingredient in FlightControl® Plus once they are conditioned.
What will the geese do after I treat my turf with FlightControl® Plus?
- Geese will sample the area. They may react by shaking their heads, drinking water, pecking at their bellies and rubbing their necks. (Allow 20 minutes for response time)
- As the geese sample, the conditioning process begins.
- Geese will not die as a result of eating FlightControl® Plus.
- They may feed several times, drinking in between, while being conditioned to respond.
- Geese will learn that a treated area is not a good place to feed.
- Geese have no choice but to find an alternative food source. This conditioning usually takes one to two days.
- New droppings should decrease, and existing droppings will continue to age if allowed to remain in the drop zone turf, turning white with age.

Application
How to apply: When geese have begun to flock in one area and are problematic (i.e. where droppings are found), apply FlightControl® Plus according to the following rates to the grassy, turf, or forage areas where geese are expected to feed/roost. Goose droppings define the extent and scale of the problem.
For the initial application, use 1 gallon of product with 6-20 gallons of water per acre. For subsequent applications within the same year, apply 1/2 GAL of product with 6-20 GAL of water per ACRE.
Subsequent applications may be made at 14 day intervals as required by geese activity and anticipated seasonal migrations. Do not apply more than 7 times per year.
- Mix with water based on spray equipment specifications and recommendations.
- Apply using a fine spray pattern to evenly distribute over entire surface to be treated.
- Allow material to dry before permitting human activity in the treated area.
- When applying to turf, cutting of the lawn will reduce amount of repellent available.
See Label for complete application instructions.
